Prime time candidate for cuts. 4th round pick from a previous GM + coaching staff, and a part of me is worried that Rhule won't think he's hungry due to opting out for COVID.

If I had one concern about Rhule & co atm, it's the talking out both sides of their mouths when it comes to player health & safety. He applauded DJax for pushing through turf toe all season and cut Eli Apple for supposedly milking a hamstring issue. While we have no idea what it looked like behind closed doors, that was something that stuck out to me.

Two sacks in seven games. He had his moments. We all know how difficult it can be for rookies to get on the field under Rivera. He could be capable of much more than we realize... or not. We'll see.

"Two sacks in seven games"

It looks like he entered 7 games, but only played 91 snaps? If so, that is roughly 1.5 games if playing full time.

Yeah, this is one concern that struck me as well.

He didnt accrue a season towards his contract, so he is still on his second year.  I think he will be given every opportunity to show what he can do this season.

Hope he’s been working his ass off but nothing can replace the time he’s missed. We’ll see but I won’t hold my breath on him making the final roster much less any sort of significant impact.

As long as you are making assumptions about things about behind closed doors you can spin this however you like.

Dude really did flash. I'm not sure how much of a 4-3 OLB he would be, but I'm interested to see how he looks in camp for sure.

I thought about Miller because if Shaq ultimately is gone, Panthers are thin at LBs

It's tough to read much into it from the outside. Might be something to it and it might be that Apple really was just mailing it in. I mean, he is a former top 10 pick who has bounced around the league who has been called a cancer by former teammates and no one came calling when we cut him.

Nobody should be judged for opting out due to Covid. Man had the right to think about his health and family first.

I see your point but cutting Apple probably had more to do with work ethic issues and attitude which were problems at his previous stops.

Im really pulling for him.

They drafted him as a OLB in the 3-4. 

 

Now that the 3-4 is history, he has an uphill battle.
